>As often happens, events or situations in our lives tend to influence how we view theworld and my own path crossing with “the Black Man” and his sexuality started well over a
decade ago and has led me to this point in time - where I’ve chosen to try and understand him
better through research and science. It has been somewhat of a roller coaster in many aspects, but
my hopes are that this thesis, and all those that may come after, will contribute to a better
understanding of, and a deeper knowledge about Black men, their construction of their
sexualities and the navigation through a society that has spent most of its energy not on building
them up but on breaking them down. If nothing else, I owe it to my children who descend from
the Western parts of Africa via the Caribbean to the cold, far North that is Sweden.
